sftv specification and details

The SFTV is an electrically operated Vertically sliding glazed system for Balconies & Shop fronts. The system can be supplied in thermally and non-thermally broken aluminium for interior and exterior use.

The SFTV system complies with the revised (April 2006) part of Document L Building Regulations.

Dimensions

Areas of up to 3000mm wide by 3000mm high can be accommodated using double or triple vertical sliding panels.

Security

Panels are securely held within unique guide profiles. Horizontal emergency locking bars activate should the mechanism be compromised. Panels are designed so that they cannot be levered out of the guide tracks and are only ever internally glazed.

Weather seals

Severe weather rated (to DIN18055) double brush strips surround the perimeter of each panel. The guide rails are designed to prevent seal distortion under panel wind loads and include rubber insulating gaskets with triple seal points.

Appearance

Adjustable aluminium frames can be coloured to suit your tastes. Standard finishes include silver anodised (EV1) and polyester powder coated white (RAL 9010 or 9016), cream (RAL 1013), dark green (RAL 6005), light grey (RAL 7040), dark grey (RAL 7016) and brown (RAL 8017). Wood-grain and stone effect foil finishes are also available upon request.

Glazing

Sealed glazed units from 20-24mm can be accommodated in the SFTV. Our standard 24mm unit comprises two panes of 4mm clear toughened glass with a thermally efficient, argon gas filled 16mm cavity. The inner pane is equipped with a thermally efficient Low E coating. Units are manufactured to BS6206a and BS5713. Many solar control, tinted glasses and self-cleaning options are available.

Suspension

Panels are top hung and operated by a simple wall mounted switch, which slowly raises or drops the upper panel (or panels) to the level required along the side guide rails. When fully dropped, in front of the fixed lower panel, the horizontal panel edge then forms a flat sill.

Ancillaries

Transom rails and solid (non-glazed) panels can be incorporated into your door design.

Ventilation

Ventilation can be offered in the form of in-glazed vents, which are situated above the glass at the head of the panel - see http://www.rwsimon.co.uk/airstrip_300.htm for further information.
